What’s everyone on /m/gaming playing lately?
I’m still making my way through the Diablo IV campaign, really enjoying that but looking forward to blasting and figuring out if I enjoy the endgame more than anything at this point. I’m a binge Path of Exile player but the past few leagues haven’t really done it for me. It’s been nice to play an ARPG again and I’m enjoying D4’s slower pace. Zoom zoom is great in POE, but it’s nice to get back to basics a little bit.
Went with Whirlwind Barbarian. Know it’s meta, but Cyclone Slayer is my favorite POE build so I’m just trying to enjoy my time as the overpowered class rather than fighting it haha.
Played through the Lies of P demo as well and thought it was mostly great. Not the greatest example of gameplay for the genre IMO, but the production values and the vibe were stellar.
How about you guys?
Final Fantasy XIV continues to dominate most of my free time, but Honkai Star Rail has definitely muscled its way in too since its release. I sure won’t pretend that it isn’t predatory in its gacha monetization, but there’s a good game in there and I’m a sucker for sci-fi settings and for JRPGs.
On the XIV front, I’ve only got about half a rank to go before maxing out Island Sanctuary again from the latest update. Pretty excited to dust off Blue Mage again too when patch 6.45 drops.
